Do you hold the sprayer upside down to get consistent blue water to come out? I have to keep shaking it to get blue water to come out.

If the crystals are dissolved well, I don't have to shake it. But yes, if there are crystals on the bottom of the container, I have to shake it too.

I shake it, I hold it upside down, my neighbors probably think I am doing some kind of garden rain dance with this sprayer by the time I am finished. It is not consistent and does not have any pattern on spraying some garden stuff may get a lot some nothing at all. I love Miracle Grow just this spayer is not Miracle Grow quality and I am very disappointed with it.

You don't need to have blue water coming out for this to be working. I've used one of these for years and it fertilizes fine with a dilute solution coming out. This puts down more water than if mixed in a bucket, but outside you have to put down more water than inside due to the evaporation and seepage into the surrounding soil. But it is fertilizing just fine. By shaking it, you will get a much less even application than just holding it level.

I was very disappointed; mine would not mix the water and MGrow properly and shaking it didn't help. The one I had years ago did work, but this one didn't. I bought the Miracle Gro liquid sprayer and it works perfectly. I'm sorry I hadn't tried this one before I reported on it, but I assumed it would work the same as the one I had before.

I had the same problem. A burst of blue came out, then clear, then more blue. I used it all up but I think I REALLY fertilized parts of my garden while some plants didn't even get a taste of it. Love Miracle Gro fertilizer, but the sprayer needs some help.

I actually never used this sprayer. I returned it unused because when this model was designed it was different from the previous model so you couldn't use the jar from old one on new one. I have also had problems with the old model and don't use their sprayers anymore.

Your is defective. I have had mine for a year and the spray is consistent we every time and use it a lot!

Yes, you're right about this, I have found the same thing with mine but it doesn't bother me too much because I like the faucet so much. The faucet I had before this one had a cheaper lightweight sprayer and it was a pain too, because it was SO lightweight. It also did not retract very well. We have a pull-down sprayer/faucet in our laundry room and it isn't perfect either, even when I push it hard up into the faucet head, it usually falls back out a bit. With this Sonoma faucet I've just become accustomed to lifting the sprayer to a position where I know it will either begin to retract on its own or I can more easily push it back down. I hope this factor concerning the faucet won't bother you too much.

I've never had a problem with it. Squeeze the handle and it sprays every time. Perhaps you've inadvertently disconnected it or clogged the nozzle. It's pretty simple mechanically, so you can take it apart, inspect, and reassemble it in a few minutes.

Honestly, I hold it the other way around if I am cleaning the derriere. It works well for me. Sometimes I don't aim it properly and get a bit of water all over the backside but no biggie. Just dry it off and go. It works well but get into the habit of turning off the water valve when not in use. If there is constant water pressure on the hose... It will bust after a few months. Happened to me but they sent me a new right away.

I have the same issue. I just lay it in a pattern that generally works. It does work better if the water force is high, but then the spray is too wide for my use. This is not my only in-line spray system and both have the same issue. For me it's still better than hand watering. PF

I just turn it upside down. Use it that way. I also have 2 bottles. One I use as just a spray, no scrub. Then I remove the spray and put the cap which comes on it back on. Then I use the scrub bottle but upside down. It shouldn't leak.maybe your bottle is stripped.

You have to have a decent pressure (half-way open or so?) to hold the spray setting, so it reverts back to stream at shut-off.

No, but I bought a spray attachment that screws onto the end & you rotate to get spray or full stream.

It will stay on the spray mode. You have to manually push it up to turn back to stream.

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

I have held mine upside down without any leaking. If you manage to somehow press the button while turning it upside down, it will pour out.

Unfortunately not directly. There is a quick disconnect on the end of the sprayer (orange in photo). I just do a fast disconnect and then use that sprayer for the clear water rinse. Easier to do it that way even if you could use the unit as a clear water sprayer.

Push down on handle and turn counter-clockwise with one hand while holding the sprayer down with the other. Notice the notches in the collar to remove the handle. Once you get the hang of it. easy.

Not 100% sure what your question is but.... when you turn on the water at the handle, water comes out the spout and if you squeeze the sprayer handle water will come out of the sprayer head. There is also a valve at the end of the spout that if turned cuts water off to the spout and will divert 100% of the pressure to the sprayer head. Hopes this answers your question.

It stays where you leave it. I hold the top of sprayer and it's a gentle pull down or push up. Very good design and really nice swivel sprayer. Doesn't seem like anything would wear out, but that's why I hold the sprayer when changing, to be sure

Slide it up toward the spray outlet. I found that if you grasp the nozzle lock with your thumb and forefinger on each side of the lock it comes out easier. You may have to wiggle it slightly to get it out.
